Pointer and Pit Bull Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption

Careful- don't look her in the eyes! She won't turn you into stone, but you may fall deeply in love!

Medusa is 8 weeks old and weighs somewhere around 10lb. She is a bundle of cuddles, playfulness, naps, love, and enthusiasm. She is happy to meet anyone and everyone. Being a young puppy, she also uses her mouth and needle-sharp teeth to explore the world- fingers, pant legs, arms... pretty much anything within reach is fair game. She is also not house trained, but being a smart little pup she will doubtlessly learn quickly.

Medusa has been fostered with kids, other dogs, cats, and chickens. She has gotten along with everyone, though she has not had many interactions with the cats or chickens (and they're all a lot bigger than she is for right now).

Medusa came to AHS after being found alone in the woods, with no people or other dogs in sight. How did she get there? We have no idea! What kind of puppy is she? We have no idea! How big will she get? We have no idea! Based off her amazingly cute looks, we suspect she may have some cattle dog and pitbull in her, but that is a total guess.

Medusa has been microchipped and has received age-appropriate vaccinations. All puppies adopted from AHS are required to be signed up for a basic obedience class prior to their adoption being finalized. A spay/neuter deposit of $200 is also required at time of adoption, which will be refunded when the puppy is spayed or neutered.
